Agree or Disagree

1. Agree, He doesn't let go of grudges, he is vindictive, and he doesn't know how to forgive. When he
was angry at Daedalus, he also punished his innocent son Icarus by sending them both to the labyrinth,
which resulted in his son's death.

As a punishment for helping Theseus, King Minos imprisoned Deadalus and Icarus in the Labyrinth.

2. Agree, His name itself means “skilled worker”. He was a famous architect, inventor, and master
craftsman known for having created many objects that figure prominently in various myths.

3. Agree, Daedalus warned him to stay near to him, but he ignored his father's advice. He also soared
too close to the sun, despite Daedalus' warning, since it would melt the wax that held their artificial
wings together, and his ignorance led to his death.

4. Disagree, Deadalus determined that he and his son needed to leave Crete and get away from Minos
before he harmed them.

5. Disagree, Daedalus had previously taught Icarus how to fly and warned him not to fly too near to the
sun because the heat would melt the wax, ruining the wings, and not to fly too close to the water
because it would dampen them and make it difficult to fly.

Icarus was responsible for his own death by failing to heed his father's stern advice.
